That is quite a bit of blueberries. They are a wonderful food. We have a blueberry patch in the bush in our back yard. Our problem is getting to picking before the bears get there. One year it was close. I was out picking and went back about a week later and all the berries were gone. The bear ate all of them. There was nothing left.
Wow that's incredible Bears are your main competition. You must live in a pretty wild place- or are bears just common in your neck of the woods?
Yes I have learned to make lots of noise in the bush. Our domain has about 68 acres of bush. It is right beside a river valley so most of the wildlife around here enter our back forest at some point. It is very diverse. We have many animals bed down during the nights. It is quite amazing. Yes bears are very common where we live. Winter is a great time, they are hibernating and that is one animal that we don't have to think about.
What a blessings,except for the potentially negative bear encounters. I grew up in an area with plenty of black bears and I'm
Used to bells and backpacks and singing on the trail.
It sure does make life interesting. Thanks so much for this chat. Have an awesome day!
